Windows does not format CSS correctly

[greenman]

Hi all,

http://www.jobsearchhelp.net/slides-new/new.html

Ive just rebuilt a website using CSS instead of tables, and I realise that the book (Designing without tables using CSS) has been telling me since page one that Windows has issues.

BUT

Any MAC program (safari + IE) can see the page correctly, and on windows Mozilla comes pretty close to getting it right but on IE my naviagation bar appears above, and not beside my content.

Why the huge difference, what am I getting wrong?

The navigation bar should fit neatly into a 800x600 screen when maximised, and the whole page should look neat and like a single box.

Argh!

Cheers,

Daniel Green

Hi

As my pc is just going through a long death IE system resource crash, I cannot view your stylesheet

However, you appear to be falling foul of the IE float model problem, where IE adds an extra 3px of hidden padding to the left of a floated container. If your menu is floated, and let's say its div is called navbar, then add this after the navbar style:

/* \*/* html #navbar{margin-right:-3px}/* */

To feed this negative figure just to IE Win.

Or simply increase the table by a few pixels to compensate

<table width="760"...................

This will allow the floats to line up side by side.
